Picking FSU over LSU? Kid will have a meaningless college career when he could have helped LSU to greatness.

Would have been on prime time next week in a top 4 matchup taking down #1 Bama. Instead he won’t make a bowl game lol

Suck it Cam

No, I don't think he's mad. We are ranked in the top 4 lol. FSU looks like shite and he's just asking if he regrets the decision to go to FSU over LSU is all. I bet he does wish he was playing for the tigers, him and marvin wilson. Those better have been some killer chicken fingers lol.

I wanted Etienne over Akers, all-day, every day. He looked much more impressive.

Emery may be better than both. I would be so thrilled to get him.

Idk, based on the records this season, the apparent rapid dropoff of FSU and ascent of LSU this season, and the apparent trajectory of the 2 programs in comparison. Just a few things maybe? Unless you are asking how do we know he would contribute to lsu reaching greatness? I think he would most definitely have been playing for us and contributing. We are on the rise man, if you haven't noticed.

Actually more mad at LSU for banking on Akers and letting Etienne slip away.

This is all on Les. Once O took over it was full court press for Etienne but he was already turned off

Clemson offered really late and he jumped on it (and made a good call), but he would’ve been ours if we would have locked him in early

Oh yeah for sure, he would have been the next bigtime feature back at LSU. If things continue like they are for fsu, he will have lost some draft stock simply by not coming here. That's how big of a decision choosing a college is for these guys. It can change how NFL perceives you. He was a much better fit for the physical style of football we play too, where FSU is more finesse. It was definite a poor decision on his behalf. Jmho.

Not really. He was slow played by a lot of programs, including two different head coaches at LSU.

I had no idea who was responsible, but it's a shame we weren't heavily recruiting him from day one. His film is outstanding. It just jumps out at you. Not just the explosiveness, but he would break tackles through the trenches as well. Akers was higher rated, but I never saw it while watching his film.

I'm actually over it now, and like I said.. Getting Emery would make up so much for it. We really could use that type of home-run back. That would have me .

Some of you don't seem to get that Louisiana isn't for everyone. Some of these guys just want to leave the area.

I think Akers is overrated. I thought he was a legit Dalvin Cook level of talent.
